Police say the individual items stolen ranged between $1,000 and $850,000.
A former Randolph home care aide faces multiple charges in connection with the theft of millions of dollars in jewelry from a Jamaica Plain home last year, authorities announced Thursday.
Corey Kisaki, 27, was arrested Tuesday in Miami and charged with unarmed robbery, break-in, and theft from a building, according to the Daily Mail. Statement from the Boston Police Department.
The charges stem from a break-in at a home within a gated community on Allandale Road on Nov. 19, 2025. Investigators said the suspects gained entry to the home through a rear basement entrance before stealing a collection of valuable jewelry stored in a locked safe.
Police reported that the stolen items were diamond rings, luxury watches, gold bracelets, pearl necklaces and designer products from brands such as Tiffany and Co. Piaget, Chopard and De Grisogono.
“The known values of the individual items ranged from $1,000 to $850,000, and the total loss is estimated in the millions,” police said in the statement.
Authorities said surveillance footage from a nearby home showed two people walking away from the back of the property around the time of the burglary.
The victims told police that Kisaiki had previously worked for them as a home care assistant and had “detailed knowledge of the property”, including the safe formula.
Investigators eventually found a fingerprint at the scene that matched Kisaki’s and obtained GPS data that placed him near the home around the time of the burglary, as well as a month before a “suspect reconnaissance visit,” police said.
Within days of the break-in, records show Kiseki traveled to Miami, where police allege he sold a stolen gold bracelet for $11,000.
Investigators also identified what they described as a pattern of foreclosure transactions and a significant increase in his cash activity in the weeks following the robbery, according to the police statement.
Authorities allege Kisaki visited a jewelry store in Randolph on Dec. 8, 2025, to sell gold jewelry. The next day, investigators say, he bought a one-way ticket to Entebbe, Uganda, and declared $54,000 in cash before leaving the country.
“Investigators believe he fled to avoid prosecution,” police said.
Kisaki was arraigned in the West Roxbury Division of Boston Municipal Court, where he pleaded not guilty to all charges, according to court records.
He was initially ordered held without bail after prosecutors requested a seriousness hearing. It was not immediately possible to know the outcome of the hearing held on Friday morning.
The lawyer representing Kisaki at the bail and seriousness hearings declined to comment Friday morning.
